Newsgroup Charter: The purpose of this newsgroup is to encourage
discussion on the generation, use and interpretation of molecular
markers, in particular microsatellites and AFLP's, for population
analysis, genome mapping and DNA fingerprinting.  The newsgroup aims to
bring together researchers starting out in these areas with those who
have had some experience and is intended to be of particular value to
researchers needing to use such techniques, but whose background is not
necessarily in molecular biology. 

It is our belief that, as these molecular techniques find application in
an ever broadening range of fields, an increasing number of scientists
yearn for technical advice, but hesitate to post questions to existing
newsgroups.
